Laboratory results confirmed markedly elevated serum uric acid (519 µmol/L; ref 208-428) with a raised WBC (12.62 K/µL), elevated neutrophils and monocytes, and elevated immature granulocytes (IG#), consistent with an acute inflammatory/infective process. eGFR was mildly reduced at 58 mL/min/1.73m². ECG showed complete right bundle branch block (CRBBB) with right axis deviation. Blood pressure was mildly elevated at 130/70 mmHg.

This is his second gout attack in 3 years. His first attack occurred approximately 3 years ago, affecting the right foot 4th toe; that toe was surgically removed in 2023. The current presentation is similar to the previous attack.
During his last attack he also developed pain in the knee joint; knee pain is still present at this admission. The right hand 3rd MCP joint has a known gout deposit. The right hand 2nd finger sustained trauma in younger age and developed a deformity; gout also affects the right 2nd finger.

8. Case Summary
Mr. Ngo Xuan Ky, an 83-year-old male with known gout (first attack 3 years ago, right 4th toe surgically removed 2023) and hypertension, presented with a 4-month history of swelling, pain, and pus discharge from the left 4th toe. This is his second gout attack. He maintains a low-purine diet and drinks alcohol only rarely. Examination revealed mild swelling, crepitus, and pus at the left 4th toe without active redness.
Laboratory results confirmed markedly elevated serum uric acid (519 µmol/L; ref 208-428), raised WBC (12.62 K/µL) with neutrophilia and significantly elevated immature granulocytes (IG# 0.34; ref 0-0.06), consistent with acute inflammatory and infective process. eGFR was mildly reduced at 58 mL/min/1.73m² (CKD Stage 3). ECG showed complete right bundle branch block (CRBBB) with right axis deviation. Blood pressure mildly elevated at 130/70 mmHg.
Working diagnosis from the admitting team: Gout (M10) + localised skin/subcutaneous infection (L08) + suspected osteomyelitis left foot (M86.8).

Further Investigations Ordered:
Left foot X-ray
Chest X-ray
Skin and subcutaneous tissue biopsy - left foot
NT-proBNP
Total protein analysis
9. Preliminary Diagnosis
Primary Diagnosis:
Acute gout arthritis - left foot 4th toe (second attack in 3 years)
Localised skin and subcutaneous infection, left foot - with pus discharge
Suspected osteomyelitis, left foot - pending imaging and biopsy confirmation
Comorbidities:
Hypertension - on antihypertensive medication (4 years; name unknown)
Complete right bundle branch block (CRBBB) with right axis deviation - ECG finding
History of right 4th toe amputation (2023) for gout
Bilateral knee joint gout (ongoing)
Tophaceous gout - right hand 3rd MCP and 2nd finger
10. Differential Diagnosis
Diagnosis
Supporting Reasoning
Acute gout arthritis (most likely)
Known gout history; markedly elevated serum uric acid; typical presentation with swollen painful digit; prior attacks same pattern; polyarticular gout confirmed at multiple sites
Septic arthritis / Osteomyelitis
Pus discharge; raised WBC with neutrophilia and elevated immature granulocytes; 4-month indolent course; crepitus on palpation; bone involvement cannot be excluded until imaging and biopsy results available
Infected tophus (tophaceous gout with secondary infection)
Chronic polyjoint gout with pus could represent an infected tophus; consistent with longstanding hyperuricaemia and multi-site involvement
Cellulitis
Localised inflammation present; however pus and possible bone involvement favour deeper infection superimposed on gout
Diabetic foot infection
Less likely - blood glucose is normal; no documented diabetes; cannot be fully excluded without HbA1c
11. Definitive Diagnosis
Primary Diagnoses:
Acute gout arthritis - left foot 4th toe; second attack in 3 years
Localised infection of skin and subcutaneous tissue, left foot with pus discharge
Suspected osteomyelitis, left foot - pending imaging and biopsy confirmation
Comorbidities:
Hypertension - on antihypertensive medication (4 years; name unknown)
CKD Stage 3 - eGFR 58 mL/min/1.73m²
Complete right bundle branch block (CRBBB) with right axis deviation
History of right 4th toe amputation (2023) for gout
Bilateral knee joint gout (ongoing)
Tophaceous gout - right hand 3rd MCP and 2nd finger
12. Treatment Plan
A. Non-Pharmacological:
Low-purine diet; continue avoidance of red meat and seafood; ensure adequate hydration
Rest; elevate affected limb; reduce weight-bearing on left foot
Regular wound dressing of left 4th toe
Monitoring: blood pressure, pulse, temperature, respiratory rate and SpO2 every 12 hours
Avoid initiating during acute flare unless already established
Colchicine
Low dose, renal-adjusted
Oral
Per physician order
Adjust for CKD Stage 3
Antibiotics
Per culture sensitivity
IV / Oral
Per physician order
Pending biopsy and culture result
C. Monitoring Plan:
Daily wound assessment - left 4th toe
Blood pressure, heart rate, temperature, respiratory rate every 12 hours
Repeat uric acid and WBC after treatment initiation
Follow-up X-ray left foot to assess for osteomyelitis progression
Renal function (creatinine, eGFR) monitoring - important for medication dose adjustment
NT-proBNP result review - cardiac function assessment
Cardiology review for CRBBB and right axis deviation
Await biopsy and culture results for definitive microbiological diagnosis
